Let's talk about money

Millions of people across the UK have savings, investments, debts and income that they choose to keep hidden from their partners, according to research from Prudential.

Prudential's Couples in Retirement campaign is designed to encourage people to talk to their partners more openly about their finances, to ensure that they help each other to secure the income and lifestyle they require in retirement.

It can be uncomfortable talking to your spouse or partner about your finances, especially when you're not used to doing it. But as you approach retirement, there are a number of things you should discuss. And the earlier the better.
